Description

Sometimes, to overcome the unexpected, all you need is to love unconditionally your imperfect, perfect child.

When Meirah’s son was born with a facial malformation, she was thrown into despair, guilt, fear, and confusion. However, she quickly realized that it was not about her. It was about her baby.

This is an honest, heartfelt, and inspiring story of a mother’s love, strength, and determination to be there for her child. Meirah’s raw account of her experiences and encouraging words guide the reader on a journey of love, acceptance, pain, and joy, as her family navigates the difficulties of caring for a child with special needs and finding the right medical treatment.

This book is for any parent who has ever felt overwhelmed, scared, or unsure of how to love their child through the unexpected — and it closes with a heartfelt Afterword written by the young protagonist of this story, who not only overcame his condition but transformed it into something positive.

It’s a reminder that your child doesn’t require perfection — only love.

Because your child is already perfect. They’re yours.

Sometimes, to overcome the unexpected, all you need is to love unconditionally your imperfect, perfect child.

When Meirah’s son was born with a facial malformation, she was thrown into despair...
